I've had my 2000 for a bit over a year now. The newness has worn off and it's time for mods! First track day is in April. C5Z wheels and some suspension gear are on the short list, if I can find some deals.

Great pic! I was looking at OEM c5z wheels and most are very pricey. Interested in what you find.

[QUOTE=Shark 82' CE;1594405543]Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I know this is an old post from last year, but I just acquired MY Pewter 2002 C5 with just 24,500 miles on her, and also just accidentally found this Pewter C5 photo thread, so I am proud to introduce my new toy and post a couple quick photos too.....

I also hope there may be a few more Pewter C5 owners lurking out there who did not see the thread in the first place, who would be happy to post their photos too!

Love my Pewter C5!

-Ray
